good point.
Any new piece of software running on your computer is a new avenue for potential attacks. Any externally facing app that allows a remote machine to run code on your computer is an especially big target for bad guys. It's unfortuante but true that there is no such thing as a hackproof computer, so even if these folks are both really good an really careful, they are still going to open up their users to inevitable attack. Damn, I *hate* it when I sound this pessimistic.
